Howdy!!!

it’s time for a short break - Psychology knowledge….

Why psychology? Hmm… well, i’m trying to promote understanding to oneself and others.

It fascinates me a lot, that our mind contains sooooo much of thoughts.

I’ve started reading quite some time ago, like 1 - 2 years back..

Well, i finally thought of writing it here.. sharing with all of you.. and helping myself to remember.. because, i’m having problems remembering.. =P

Well.. Here goes :

Qn1. What is Transactional Analysis?                                                                     

Ans:

- It is a way of analyzing how people deal with each other and how they can change their   lives by correcting their behavioral mistakes.

- It focuses on what goes on inside of people instead of between them.

- It shows people how to act differently with each other in social transactions, rather than helping them to understand why  they were emotionally disturbed.

Qn2. How to know a person?

Ans:

- By watching the interactions of his or her ego states.

Qn3. What are the ego states?

Ans:

-Normal personality ego states comprises 3 parts: The child, the Parent and the Adult.

- the child : creative and emotional part of the self.

- the parent : composed of a set of attitudes about people and life that function in us as if they were prerecorded tapes.

- the adult: a rational " human computer " .

Now let’s cover about strokes.

Qn4. what is ’strokes’ ?

Ans:

- It can be physical or verbal and are defined as the basic unit of human recognition. (i.e saying i love you or praises. Hugs)

- especially informative.

- positive strokes is a show of affection.

- negative strokes ( frankly, i don’t promote this..) [i.e beating, scolding.]

Well, I believe I covered enough.

Not enough?

Well, look out for more next time then.

See ya.

I was thinking about what has been revolving around my life.

I thought about my family…

The quarrels. The giggles and hugs. The tears and hardships we’ve been through together as a family.

Every quarrels, aches and tires me a lot. Especially those hurtful words each and every one of us spoke. The violence. The rashness. Has been flasing in my head whenever i’m alone. It hurts a lot. Whenever these images flashes, my head aches. So does, my heart.

I have no idea i’m the cause of every single tragedy.

I have no idea that i’m the cause of my mum giving up hope on her religion - buddhism.

To me, religion is not just an importance, an identity , and your beliefs, but also the source of your confidence.

Without religion, what are you? i can’t say myself as a religious person. At least, i know its importance in our lives, and its values.

(sigh) . When i looked at huge work loads - school work, and the loads of rubbish in my room (lolx), headache… headache…

My parents will ask , " Mei ah, when will you start tidy up your room??? "

LolX.

Academic. Should I drop design and technology or literature???

I scored horribly for literature, but that’s my passion lies.

I passed design and technology, but i hate that exhausting and stressful process.

So, can anyone tell me what to do?

P.S: please post your views regarding this issue before the end of june.
